I am an Indian and this is the first time I an hearing of this. I am genuinely surprised and curious. Which part of India does your stepbrother’s company operate in?

I believe they are in New Dehli, or just outside of it.

It came up in conversation because his company is trying to get everyone back in offices across the globe. Part of his team is in India, and because the women have to end their shift by 7 PM local time while there are still 3 hours left in a work shift that partially overlaps with morning hours in the U.S., he is fighting back on this requirement as he would prefer they continue to work from home. I'm not sure what they did before the pandemic, but it sounds like it's been more productive with that team being remote, at least with the women who aren't forced to stop in the middle of a shift.

That's interesting. Maybe it could be more of a women's safety or labor law issue, not an outright curfew.

Just curious, is this what you mean by “many parts of India”?

This seems like one region in a city.
